Dexter Walker

Welcome to Summer Bay, not a dark cloud in sight.

Dexter wears his sense of humour like a suit of armour. After all he’s been through, with his parents’ separation, he’s relied on his quick wit and keen sense of irony to keep him from falling into the pit of frustration and disappointment his father Sid has dug for him and his sister. Even though his fresh, funny approach to life’s challenges makes him attractive to the girls, his heart has been broken by his parents’ inability to keep their promises to each other.

He has been forced to grow up quickly, although he still misses his mother. He can be extremely annoying and embarrassing to his older sister, but can also be supportive to both Indi and Sid.

The Walker family got quite the surprise when Dex’s half-sister Sasha stormed into town, following the death of her mother. With Dex and Sasha sharing a dad in Sid, the Walker household got a whole lot more complicated with Sasha moving into the farm. Resenting the fact that Sid wanted them all to play happy families, Sasha ran with the wrong crowd and made Dex’s life hell.

However, Dex and Sasha soon realised that they had more in common than they thought. Their similar quirky personalities have seen the pair get on really well. With Sasha constantly finding herself in sticky situations, she’s always seeking Dex out for a word of advice.

After a few break-ups, Dex and April have finally admitted their love for each other. When Sid moved out of the farm, April took up residency in Dex’s room. However, when Dex was seriously injured in a car accident (Ruby tampered with Indi’s car, not expecting that Dex would be driving it) their relationship hit a rough patch. Left with a brain injury, Dex effectively lost his personality and didn’t want April near him, seeing himself as a burden to everyone around him. He suffered seizures and would have to be kept calm at all times to avoid more episodes.

Luckily, his "Dexness" has since returned! Similarly, his love for April - tenfold! Following Romeo’s shock death, the couple put their own lives into perspective and Dex asks April to marry him, again. This time, it feels right and April happily accepts.
